  • btw, where's syria? what happened to them, were they eliminated during their regional qualifiers, pardon my ignorance.
    It's ironic to see limited efforts from players with maximum salary.
    I wish they would apply "sabermetrics" in those financially challenged PBA teams to acquire players who are value for their money.

      They withdraw from the regional qualifier since only two or three slots available... other ME countries, other than the Big Three (Lebanon, Iran and Jordan), made it to the Asian Champs not through merit but through the Stankovic Cup...

      • it's becoming a little bit unfair for the regional qualifiers in WABA.

        too bad for syria, or whoever the 4th WABA team to be left out. all 4 had proven to be among the best in asia.
        GODSPEED Lebanon!!

          Agree Syria and Taiwan were the victims of the FIBA Asia decision to make all participants of the Stankovic Cup last year as automatic entry to the Asian Championship... as a result only two or three slots available (I think its only two since China as the host and Iran as the defending champ qualifies automatically) for WABA and East Asia.. so lesser countries such as Qatar, Kuwait and UAE plus India automatically qualifies for the Asian Champs... the result it closes the door to other possible contenders such as Syria and Taiwan (Taiwan only made it when one of the lower-ranking countries withdrew from the tourney) plus it also open the door for Sri Lanka since India already qualified through the Stankovic Cup...
